Voting & Fair Representation: Protecting Your Voice

We all deserve a say in choosing leaders who will fight for us in the halls of power. The right to vote must be secure, fair, and open to all.

Our votes are how we decide the future for our families, our communities, and our country. But too often, politicians pass unfair voting rules that drown out the voices of everyday people or rig legislative maps so we don’t get a real choice.

That’s why Common Cause protects your voice at the ballot box, in Congress, in state legislatures, in the courts, and beyond.

We have passed hundreds of commonsense solutions that give every American a say in our futureincluding vote-by-mail, online voter registration, early voting, and independent redistricting – and blocked voter suppression policies like strict voter ID and purges of registered voters.

Protecting Oregon’s Democracy from Trump

One powerful way to make a difference in resisting the Trump administration's authoritarian power grab and strengthening our democracy is to speak with your elected representatives in the Oregon legislature. Those who speak up have a disproportionate influence. With so much at stake right now, consider meeting with your state senator and state representative as they deliberate on what legislation they will pass this year.

Tell Congress: REJECT the anti-voter SAVE Act

Every eligible American deserves the freedom to vote without jumping through impossible hoops.

But the SAVE Act would scare newly naturalized citizens out of voting and make it harder for millions of eligible voters to cast a ballot – especially seniors, women, students, veterans, and rural voters.

REJECT the anti-voter SAVE Act and protect our right to vote.

Explainer: Trump Administration’s Proposal to Task USPS with Census Enumeration

The United States Postal Service is a highly trusted, independent agency that provides a critical service to the public. Tasking the USPS with conducting the census will lead to increased costs, overburdened postal workers, and service delays.
